It was the best accomodation we've had so far! Udara was so friendly and showed us around at the local temple and did the yala safari with us. His mom made us an awesome dinner. And the house is very beautiful and clean. We had a really good time.

One of the best experiences we had in the whole of Sri Lanka, from the team at Camp Leopard to Safari! The team was great, and helpful, and provided us with anything we needed. We would repeat this visit at Camp Leopard anytime! We loved all their dogs who were beside us at our stay! The safari that they organized was also 5 star safari! A lot of birds, monkeys and other animals to see! Thank you!!

It sounds like a wonderful place to stay, especially for nature enthusiasts looking to immerse themselves in the biodiversity and scenic landscapes near Yala National Park. Staying at Podi Hoona Eco Bush Camp would likely provide a peaceful and eco-friendly experience, allowing guests to appreciate the natural surroundings and perhaps spot some of the local wildlife, including geckos, in their natural habitat. Highly recommended for anyone who looks for a wonderful wildlife experience….

This is the heart of Yala, a place that touches your soul. Accommodation: The house is a gem—beautiful, serene, and right by the beach. We had it all to ourselves, and it felt like a step back to our childhood, with clean, cozy rooms and a sense of peace we hadn’t felt in years. Hospitality: Mr. Hansa and his wife, Sa, made us feel like family. His wisdom and kindness left a lasting impression. Don’t miss out on his stories and knowledge—he’s a true treasure. Food: The meals were unforgettable. The owner’s cooking is simply divine—each bite felt like a love letter to the senses. We’re deeply moved by our time in Sri Lanka, and Nil Sisila will always have a special place in our hearts. P.S. An elephant visited our house! We were in awe, along with the bulls, peacocks, and countless birds. It’s like staying in a little National Park.

Lovely family run buisness! Super friendly/ helpful host and amazing food! The whole place is alive with birds, absolutely recommended. It's situated very close to yala national park and jeep tours can be arranged. Go and stay there, if you are not afraid of the odd frog in the bathroom or gecko at the wall. Also two v cute dogs!

Everything was great and we enjoyed staying in this hotel. We lived in a big comfortable room on the 3rd floor with air conditioner , fridge and a big balcony with amazing view! The owner Buddika was very friendly and helpful. He managed to arrange a great safari for us in Yala national park for next day at a good price even though we arrived late. And safari exceeded our expectations, during exciting trip we watched elephants, crocodiles, varan, peacocks, buffalos, dears and even a leopard very close that is a great luck and also made wonderful pictures. In addition I would like to mention excellent service and hospitality. Buddika picked our luggage up, arranged a dinner for us in the restaurant, presented welcome drinks and always helped to solve all questions.

This is a very well run camp close to Yala NP. We stayed in a family tent which was great with two tents joined together and plenty of space. Dinner is outside around a fire, which is very atmospheric. Nice small details with tasty afternoon tea and some activities such as basketball and badminton. Great place to stay, with excellent staff.

very nice location in the middle of green lush. The accommodation was spacious, very clean, had comfortable mattresses and was well equipped. even equipped with things as luxurious shower gel, shampoo and toothpaste. owners of the accommodation were very sweet, friendly and funny - they even made us a nice dinner last minute after a long day of safari. besides that we would definitely recommend their sri lankan breakfast, it was one of the best we had in 5 weeks of our holiday in sri lanka. thanks a lot for the nice stay ❤️
